TOP 10 Exercises for Developing a Better Brain and Cerebellum
In a fascinating study published in the November 2009 edition of the Archives of Neurology, Dr. Patricia Boyle and her colleagues from Chicago reported that individuals who had overall greater muscle strength had a reduced likelihood of developing cognitive loss over a four-year period.
Researchers studied 970 men and women between the ages of 54 to 100 years old (average age of 80), with normal memory, testing their strength in nine different muscle groups. During the four year follow up period, 138 of these individuals developed cognitive loss. Interestingly, it was found that those individuals who ranked in the top 10% for muscle strength were 61% less likely to develop progressive cognitive loss compared to the weakest 10%. Additionally, stronger people, overall, experienced a slower decline in their mental abilities. Dr. Boyle noted, “We certainly think that it is important to be physically active and to work to keep our muscles strong. Good physical health is important for good brain function.”
As a practicing strength & conditioning coach for more than a decade, I have long advised my older patients to stay as physically fit as possible. Aside from the wonderful benefits of cardiovascular health, a regular exercise program can also help decrease depression and elevate your mood as well as ward off progressive cognitive loss. In addition, it is mandatory that individuals stay mentally occupied as they get older. I have always said, “What you starve will die. What you feed will live and thrive.” It is certainly true when it comes to brain function and cognitive loss.
In addition to crossword puzzles I suggest you add these top ten exercises into your busy schedules and watch the BRAIN Fitness happen – with your eyes closed!
The TOP 10 best exercises for training the Cerebellum.
Let me explain who the Cerebellum is…this little guy is called the “Little brain.” It constitutes just 10% of the total volume of the brain but amazingly, it contains over 50% of the neurons in the entire human brain. The cerebellum’s job is to modify and adapt movement patterns to improve coordination and balance. Incredibly, before any movement (even something as simple as bending over to tie your shoe) is even initiated, the cerebellum, through a feed-forward mechanism has already perceived the intended motion up to six times and fires down to contract the core musculature to prepare for the anticipated movement.

How true that at some moment in our life we have wondered how nice it would be to cruise around in a little rag top and cut through mountain roads with the sun and wind in our face. My first convertible was a 1971 Jensen Healey painted “Ferrari” red. Boy, did I feel cool driving around in that little, rare convertible. I even bought ‘cruising’ clothes to wear while driving and accessories including cool shades that blocked bugs out from all sides.
While in 1989 the Oakland A’s rocked the World Series, Mazda rocked our world with the introduction of the MX-5 Miata. It’s hard to believe that 22-years have passed, but one thing is for sure, the MX-5 Miata continues to round the bases.
What once came only in a soft top, Mazda expanded the offering of the Miata in 2007 to also include a convertible hardtop. In roughly 12 seconds you will switch from fun-in-the-sun to the protection of a hard shell. In 2009, Mazda made substantial changes to the Miata along with some updates in 2010. The 2011 MX-5 comes to us unchanged, while remaining the world’s most popular two-seat roadster.
The exterior of the MX-5 has matured with rounder surface lines that have kept its design modern and exciting. Mazda describes the body shape as making the cockpit the widest portion of the car to deliver a roomier and safer design. Head and tail lamps are mounted inboard to reinforce the sense of density, while the front sports an aggressive face with a five-point grille. The soft top can be lowered or raised with only one hand from the inside of the car and secures in place with a central latch handle that requires just a simple turn of the wrist to lock in place.
The power retractable hard top is available in two trim levels – Touring or Grand Touring. One of the nice features of the hard top is that it stores in the same area as the soft top and does not consume any additional trunk space. The Miata looks as great with the hard top up as with it down. In fact, in the up position it presents itself as a cool little sports coupe.
The 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata is available in five trim levels: Sport soft top ($23,110), Touring soft top ($25,450), Touring hard top ($27,150), Grand Touring soft top ($26,710), and Grand Touring hard top ($28,550). All models come standard with a 5-speed manual transmission and are available with a 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive.
The interior is compact and does not feel cramped. This could radiate from the mind set and expectation of driving a sport roadster. You expect small, so small translates into nimble and quick. The dash is simple with big gauges and highlighted with a silver trim bar that frames the four air vents from end to end. The center stack houses your typical radio and heating/air elements as well as the controls for the heated seats, and power outlet. Touches of silver trim follow through on the doors, steering wheel, and shifter. Radio volume, cruise control, and Bluetooth™ can be operated conveniently from the steering wheel.
Our test model came with the Premium Package ($1,650), which includes an alarm system, Bluetooth™ wireless connectivity, advanced keyless entry system, HID headlamps, Sirius radio, dynamic stability control, and traction control.
Performance comes in the form of a 167 horsepower (158 hp w/automatic transmission) 2.0-liter 4-cylinder with an aluminum block and head for lighter weight and structural rigidity. That may not sound like a lot of power under the hood, but let’s not forget the Miata is so light and balanced that it works just fine. In fact, it only takes the MX-5 6.5-seconds to go from zero to 60 mph. The engine is placed just behind the front axle to provide a better balance and weight distribution. It comes with traction control that can be turned off if you are interested in ‘drifting’.
Opting for the Sport A/T automatic transmission you’ll think it sweet to convert from auto to manual shifting mode including race-car inspired paddle shifters, which are mounted behind the steering wheel. With this action allowing you to switch gears up and down, all you will need now is a nice pair of racing gloves!
The 2011 Miata handles like a fun little sports car; longing for winding mountain roads. It’s a perfect blend of performance and handling. With an optional $500 Suspension Package, you cannot lose with a sport tuned suspension, Bilstein shocks, and limited slip differential.
Room for improvement:
A Navigation System isn’t offered
Cool Features:
Power hard top with easy open and close buttons
Remote keyless entry option
The 2011 Miata is constructed on a unibody that makes ample use of high-strength and ultra high-strength steel, boosting body force while simultaneously cutting weight. Standard safety features include anti-lock brakes, front and side airbags and a passenger’s airbag cutoff switch to carry, as I did; a young child, in a child safety seat. Optional safety items include dynamic stability control, and traction control.
In Summary – Is the 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata fun to drive? Well, my 2-1/2 year old son Chase thinks so! Exclaiming “Daddy, this is a fast car” and “Daddy go faster – go faster!” you will agree. Not only is the Miata the best sports car in its class, it is also a car that you can drive every day. Each generation has grown to become more refined and more exhilarating to drive. At starting just over $23,000 it still delivers a bargain package of performance, handling, and the chance to achieve your dream of driving your very own little red roadster.

Understanding nerve pain and how it can be healed naturally
What is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Peripheral Neuropathy is a condition in which there is damage to the peripheral nervous system, which transmits information from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. This can result in pain, loss of feeling, and inability to control muscles. As with any other condition, there is no “one size fits all” remedy for those suffering from this malady and treatment may vary depending on the cause and severity. However, many individuals find relief using natural remedies.
Peripheral Neuropathy is a condition that affects people in every walk of life. It is estimated that 20 million Americans and 60% of diabetics suffer from this disorder. There are hundreds of different kinds of neuropathy, the symptoms of which include burning, tingling, weakness, numbness, paralysis, and dull to excruciating pain – especially in the limbs.
Although many neuropathies have no known cause, neuropathy is often associated with another condition, such as: Diabetes, HIV, shingles, toxins, autoimmune disorders, neurological conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome, and malnutrition. Statin (cholesterol) drugs and chemotherapy can also cause neuropathy.
While medications can sometimes help with the symptoms, they cannot be relied upon to restore the health of the nerves. Most often the drugs that treat Neuropathy leave the sufferer feeling intoxicated and hopeless to lead a normal active life.
Understanding the Nervous System
Nerves carry the electrical signals that allow us to move, feel, breath, digest, detoxify, respond to our environment, and much more. Nerves are the electrical wiring of the human body. Plain and simple, if the nerves do not work the body will not work, in some capacity. It is also important to understand that unlike other tissues, the primary blood supply to nerve tissue is actually located WITHIN the nerve itself. So, if a nerve becomes impinged or compromised, so does the blood supply to the nerve. Without proper blood supply, the nerve does not receive the energy and nutrition that are needed for the nerve to heal itself. Over time neural impingement leads to a painful chronic condition called Neuropathy.
Natural help for Neuropathy sufferers
For the past eleven years Align Healing Center has been offering many natural therapies to soothe and heal painful neuropathies. In 2009 we began using Class IV Laser Therapy and the results have been outstanding! Class IV Laser Therapy allows the practitioner to stimulate healing within the nerve tissue by delivering the necessary energy directly to the injured area. During each painless treatment, laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged area. Laser therapy is a photochemical process that is able to bypass the arterial “highway” that has been damaged. During Laser Therapy the infrared laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level and metabolically increases the activity within the cell, improving the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane. This initiates the production of cellular energy (ATP) that leads to a cascade of beneficial effects, increasing cellular function and health. This creates an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness and pain. In other words, NO MORE Pain, NO MORE Numbness, NO MORE Tingling and NO MORE Burning! Depending on the type and severity of neuropathy we have witnessed patients begin to get relief after the first visit and with continued care receive complete relief long-term.

How often do you hear that in order to score well you need to have a good short game? I say it every day while I give lessons because it’s true! In order to score well you do have to have a good short game but you also need more than that.
It wouldn’t hurt if you could hit it long and straight while following that up with precision approach shots. Then, of course, you would need to negotiate the green and putt the ball into the cup. Most people believe that in order to play well they do need to drive long and true, select the correct club and put it on the green. Maybe if you are a scratch golfer, but most the golfer’s I teach would be happy shooting in the 90’s and breaking that 100 mark. I also teach low handicap golfer’s as well. In general, everyone needs to work on the short game. Still, something is missing that players need to come to grips with before they can expect to capitalize on all the extra time put into the “scoring area.”
Last month, a few hundred of the games top players battled it out to earn the right to compete on the PGA Tour. The final stage is over 108 holes or 6 rounds. It’s a pressure packed event with all the marbles on the table. Qualify and you go to the big show—miss and you go home. It’s that simple. This brings me back to the short game topic. I had qualified for the finals one year when the 108 holes were held on a difficult course outside Houston Texas. It was wet and extremely cold averaging just above freezing. I’m happy to say that I qualified that year but how I did might be a bit of a surprise to many. Out of 108 holes, I had only hit half the greens in regulation for that week. That means 54 times I had an opportunity to chip, pitch or hit a bunker shot. I managed to get the ball up and down 46 out of 54 times. For those that know golf, that’s lot of up and downs.
It wasn’t that I putted great or managed to negotiate the Bermuda grass any better than most. What I did do is the missing link with the short game; I flat out grinded my way around. What that means is that I refused to get frustrated, I refused to give up and I set my mind after a missed shot to get the ball up onto the green and into that cup. That’s what up and down means. I was able to do it 46 times. That’s determination and that is what people often times miss. They get upset and down on themselves and then can’t fight back and still make a good score.
I believe a good short game starts with that determination and then a lot of practice so you can pull off really good short shots, even when your are still fuming about that last poor shot you hit! It’s not easy to do that because you have to be able to accept that last error quickly and move forward to the shot at hand. This is a critical step in order to take your game to another level. You are still going to miss easy shots and you are still going to get upset because of them. But, you need to buckle down and get the ball into that hole anyway. That ability to grind it out is what separates you from reaching that next level. I challenge you for 2011 to become more determined, learn how to grind and reach another level!

The Federal Reserve’s recent actions continue to show that the Fed is unwilling to accept anything other than above-trend economic growth and higher inflation. Back in November of 2010, the Federal Reserve reiterated its pledge to keep interest rates low for an extended period and they also announced plans to buy $600 billion in U.S. Treasuries in a round of unconventional monetary stimulus known as quantitative easing. You may have heard this latest move by the Fed described to as “QEII,” so named because this latest round follows an earlier round of treasury purchases started in March of 2009 known as “QEI.” The old Wall Street saying, “Don’t fight the Fed” comes to mind when reviewing the Fed’s current policy. The old adage recommends that investors should decrease equity exposure when the Fed is raising rates and increase equity exposure when the Fed is cutting rates. This appears to be the case today.
Whether you agree with the Fed’s policy or not it is important to understand what this might mean for your investments. The Fed is stepping on the gas pedal and providing ample liquidity to underpin the economy. This could continue to be a bullish indicator for all types of “risk” assets like stocks, commodities, and corporate bonds. Keeping rates very low should also have the effect of devaluing our currency. This can give an additional boost to commodity prices and pump up the returns in international stocks and bond holdings. In my opinion, the Fed is basically telling us that interest rates are going to remain low for some time so holding cash is going to continue to be a very low returning strategy. The Fed wants the stock market to go up, they want to stimulate economic growth and risk taking.
Our economy remains in a fragile state but conditions continue to look less bad. The U.S. economy is recovering but at a very slow pace. I certainly do not expect things to start booming again. Far from it. Unemployment is expected to remain high and the housing market is still years away from recovery. However, this backdrop is not necessarily bad for stocks. Low interest rates, low inflation, low expectations and an accommodative monetary policy could create a favorable backdrop for higher equity prices.
In this environment I favor stocks over bonds. I expect both U.S. and emerging market stocks to do well. I also believe commodities and commodity oriented stocks are attractive. Within your bond allocation I would consider corporate bonds over government bonds and also like international and emerging market bonds. Get invested, stay invested, diversify and don’t fight the Fed. Happy New Year to each of you!

Q. Tom, my spouse and I were transferred here from the east coast about two years ago and we love the Diablo Valley! We purposely waited to buy a home until the real estate market stabilized; now we intend to purchase in the next 90 days or so. With so much information available to us on the internet, do we really need a Realtor?
Great question! In the old days when Realtors controlled nearly all the information about homes and MLS listing books were coveted like top secret documents, “finding and showing” homes to a buyer was a HUGE part of the Realtor value proposition. Now everything is on the internet – multiple pictures, virtual tours and you tube videos that fill your computer or smart phone screen with tons of images, graphs, surveys, data and statistics. And that’s the problem; it’s a tsunami of information that can overwhelm the typical buyer. In many instances, the process of home shopping on the internet actually results in confusion rather than clarity for the consumer. It’s at that point when you are best served by a full-time Realtor who will translate all the data & information into knowledge & expertise, to your benefit—someone who will efficiently drill down on what’s most important to you in your goal to buy the right home and then guide you through the process. So, while today’s professional real estate agent may not actually ‘find’ the home for you, don’t underestimate the impact the Realtor plays in determining the property’s value, researching the property’s sale history, presenting the offer, negotiating price and terms, ratifying the purchase agreement, inspecting the property, renegotiating after inspections, clearing title, validating the appraisal, obtaining loan approval, arranging insurance requirements, closing the escrow on schedule and delivering the home to you in good condition. And that’s just what I can think of off the top of my head! Remember, anyone can search the internet for information but it takes an expert to help you successfully navigate the complexities of a real estate purchase that will affect you and your family’s lifestyle and finances for a long time to come.
Q. I am planning to sell my home soon. What inspections am I expected to provide and how much do the inspections cost?
Another good question! It varies from county to county but here in Contra Costa it is customary for the seller to only pay for the structural pest inspection; the buyer typically pays for any other inspections that may include property, roof, chimney/fireplace, structural, drainage, pool and/or spa depending on the amenities, age and condition of the subject home. As a seller, you may elect to pay for and complete ALL the above inspections but few sellers do so in our area. A structural pest inspection is usually priced by square footage so depending on the size of your home you can usually expect to pay between $200 – $500 for the inspection. And remember, the pest inspector is not looking for bugs like spiders and ants. The inspector checks for fungus, mildew, dry rot, excessive moisture and termites– things that over time will compromise the structural integrity of the home. If you are searching for a reputable structural pest inspection company to hire, feel free to email me directly for a solid referral.
